Greiwing Truck & Trailer

What Greiwing Truck & Trailer does

Greiwing Truck & Trailer GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned commercial vehicle rental and fleet services company headquartered in Greven, Germany, founded in 2002 and incorporated in 2003. The company rents tractor units, trailers, distribution vehicles, and special vehicles to B2B logistics customers across Europe, operating a fleet of more than 900 vehicle units. Greiwing maintains owned subsidiaries in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, and Bulgaria, and delivers 24/7 service coverage in 40 European countries through a network of more than 6,000 partner workshops. Leadership comprises Rudolf Greiwing (founder), Simon Greiwing (CEO), and Nina Greiwing (CFO).

The revenue model combines subscription-style rental contracts, one-time vehicle sales, rent-to-buy arrangements, leasing brokerage, after-sales service, and truck wash operations. Under its GTT Zero sub-brand, Greiwing rents battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) — including the Volvo FH Aero Electric and Mercedes-Benz eActros added in 2025 — and provides electromobility consulting. Operations are supported by Fleetloop, a digital fleet management platform for telematics and customer-facing fleet visibility.

The company competes in the European commercial vehicle rental market against larger multi-national rental operators and OEM-direct leasing businesses, differentiating on family-owned flexibility, pan-European service density, and early positioning in BEV rental. No external funding rounds, public revenue figures, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
